Dear writer, dear actress : the love letters of Anton Chekhov and Olga Knipper
The 1899-1904 correspondence between the great Russian playwright and his leading lady, lover, and future wife reveal moods as kaleidoscopic as those portrayed in Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard. Even after his early death from tuberculosis--with a theatrical final glass of champagne, Olga wrote imaginary letters to Anton at the onset of her 55 years of widowhood. No index. c. Book News Inc
